If you experience tearing during scrolling or video display, and don't find that "install a compositor!" is helpful or fixes the problem, here's an attached patch against x11-servers/xorg-server 21.1.16. This backports unreleased X.org support for a "TearFree" option to the modesetting section of xorg.conf. Original work by Joshua Stein for OpenBSD. https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=171591279709952 I have updated the patch so it applies to 21.1.16. I'm _not_ submitting it for inclusion in the port. This is just something in my local Git repository that a few people might find useful. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.inka.de
